Chelsea managed to defeat Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in the UEFA Champions League, thanks to a stoppage-time goal from Michy Batshuayi.
Chelsea went into their second group stage game of the UEFA Champions League game against Atletico Madrid anticipating a tough evening up ahead. And it panned out that way. The Blues were ready to share the spoils after Alvaro Morata canceled out Antoine Griezmann’s conversion from the penalty spot.
However, up stepped Michy Batshuayi as he netted the winner deep into stoppage time to rescue all three points for the Blues. The Belgian’s heroics were the toast of Twitter all night as Chelsea fans raved of the striker, who himself joined in on the act.

Exactly 50% of Michy Batshuayi’s 14 goals for Chelsea have come in the final 10 minutes of games.

Just the 19 goals and assists now for Michy Batshuayi in his first ~1,100 minutes played for Chelsea (16G, 3A). Decent.

Alvaro Morata too, was hailed as he kept his impressive start to his Chelsea career going with a goal on the night.
7 – Alvaro Morata has scored seven goals from just ten shots on target in all competitions this season. Arrow.

Chelsea are just something else.
That goal probably just knocked Atletico into the Europa league.
Conte is such an effective manager.— Aniextian. (@Feints_twists) September 27, 2017
